Strict security measures, similar to airports, will be in place, limiting visitors to one small bag and prohibiting items like food, liquids, flowers, and other tributes.
Attendees are advised to dress appropriately, remain silent within the Palace of Westminster, and are forbidden from filming, photographing, or using mobile phones inside the premises.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
